Professor Matt Sparke co-authored a paper for Geoform documenting the complex interweaving of geopolitical and geoeconomic relations in China’s Greater Bay Area (GBA). Straddling an unstable fault line in the world system, this area is a fast-evolving frontier zone of party-state capitalism. As a consequential experiment in the production of new spatial forms, discourses, and logics, researchers argue that the GBA requires simultaneous attention to the geoeconomic and the geopolitical at the nexus of party-statecraft, multiscalar governance, “security,” and new conceptions of national development.
